The teams exchanged chances during the second half – Ousmane Diakite nodding over for Albion and Wednesday’s Ike Ugbo having a low finish comfortably held by Griffiths.

And that trend continued when Baggies winger Johnston couldn’t quite find the bottom corner after cutting in, ahead of Owls player Yan Valery smashing a half-volley off-target.

Mason introduced Karlan Grant and Aune Heggebø to try and help earn his team the victory, but ultimately the scoreline remained level.
